Calling METplus
- Generally, the call to METplus looked like:
- master_metplus.py -c parm/use_cases/qpf/examples/phpt-vs-s4grib.conf -c /home/dadriaan/projects/myconf/metplus_system.conf.NAME -c /home/dadriaan/projects/myconf/phpt-vs-s4grib.conf.XX
- Where NAME = system name (eyewall or dakota)
- Where XX = suffix for portion of processing chain being run. This would vary whether I was running RegridDataPlane and PcpCombine or just grid_stat, or which case (neighbor or default) I was running.
- The sample command is given to show that the QPF use case conf items were loaded by default, and then overwritten with this tests's specific conf items like field names, leads, etc...
